Congrats to everyone that got in! @rishcs I got that email as well, I don’t think we should read into it too much. I just wish they started creating an extended waitlist right now so we can move on and not hold onto hope lol
Was everyone email like this:
Thank you for your continued interest in Penn and your ongoing patience throughout the admissions process.
Now that May 1 has passed and we are gaining a clearer picture of enrollment for the Class of 2024, we wanted to provide an update on the wait list. This week, we sent out our initial wave of admissions offers to wait listed candidates. While we are unable to offer you a place in the class at this time, we do expect further movement on the wait list in the coming weeks with the goal of completing the class by late June.
As you continue on the wait list, we welcome additional information that may shed new light on your candidacy since the time of application. If you would like to provide an update, please refer to the “Wait list Applicant Update” form located in your Penn Applicant Portal. Please note there will not be an option for students admitted from the wait list to delay their admission by requesting a gap year. You and your family should consider this as you make a decision about your wait list status.
…
It has been a pleasure getting to know you during this process and we hope to be in touch soon.
Sincerely,
Penn Admissions
@megatron48 yes, I did.

yup that’s what I got. it was probably a cold email. I remember Penn doing an extended waitlist in the past, so there is a very good chance they just did some to get the process rolling (the sooner they send a few out, the sooner they get an idea of whether those people accept), and are still looking at what some schools would consider a first wave of acceptances. so I’m thinking some people will still hear good news next week, and then from there they will do extended waitlist and adjust according to how many students they have left.
^ of course, I am just hypothesizing and may be completely off, but just my thoughts
I got into CAS! I received an email at 7:03 PM telling me that an update was made to my account.
Congrats to everyone that was accepted!!! Hopefully, I can see y’all this fall, if I’m accepted.
Waitlisted international here who was just accepted to wharton, it’s asking me for a FAFSA and W2 despite the fact that i’m international for financial aid, is this normal (i’m from a country that penn treats as need-blind which is how they were able to give me an offer without taking into account fin aid)
Daughter accepted off Wharton waitlist. It was weird, no phone call, just an email saying “check your portal for an update.”
Got the “not rn” email
Just got into SEAS! Best of luck to anyone else on the waitlist!
Accepted CAS! Does anyone have an idea as to when the financial aid packages will be released or if anyone got one yet?
@jchiu1315 Financial aid information should be in your portal if you go back to the home page and check the Financial Aid tab.
I also got the email but I don’t actually see an option to upload another waitlist update (I already did one the first time round)
Congrats to the people who got in! So very jealous of you guys! I also don’t see an option for an update so I’m not sure what they meant
Do you guys also think that they went through the entire WL pool before picking their initial wave?
@BallpoinkPen …Arts and Sciences. Congrats to all, see you soon.
got the “not rn” email too. is this essentially a soft rejection?
I GOT INTO SEAS
